Le Canapé — Restaurant in Palaiseau

I am in Gif-sur-Yvette on business travel. I wandered into Le Canapé for dinner tonight. I did not know I was going to have a fantastic experience. The food was amazing. I had a ceviche that exceeded all of the others I have ever had. The flavors of fish, and lime, and sweet potato were perfectly balanced and the cilantro just stitched it all together.

My plat was a swordfish skewer to die for. So moist, flavorful, and luscious. Couscous cooked to perfection and a little building block of carrots etc just balanced it all perfectly.

I never have dessert, but it came with the meal tonight, and I was glad in the end. Crème brûlée - pistachio crème brûlée with raspberries. AMAZING.

Dommage endroit magnifique sur le parvis de l'église, l'accueil pour boire un verre en terrasse est catastrophique, attelé à la mise en place du soir à 18h00, on reçoit les autres clients "en marge" voire on les assoit sur un muret de la commune...bravo belle image pour les touristes que vous avez entre guillemets accueilli, des chaises et cousins vide sur une quarantaine de place à 10 mètres On a failli mangé là mais après ce triste constat nous sommes partis ailleurs

En réponse à votre réponse très pro, j'ai commencé à travailler à 15 ans ma grande et dans la restauration justement ! A 24 ans je gérais déjà un restaurant, bar, petit mais 30 couverts assurés a 3, tous les midis alors votre attitude de non commerçante me fait honte et honte pour la France de la façon dont vous avez reçu des touristes vous avez entre les mains une superbe affaire sur un site très favorable, et figurez vous que quel que soit le type de restaurant j'observe de très près, propreté, personnels, cuisine, vaisselles, tables, chaises etc, si je vous dit qu'on a été déçu...
